Gunmen have reportedly abducted five residents of Yangoji in Kwali Area Council of the FCT, shooting a chieftain of the APC, Alhaji Musa Majaga, on the leg in the process.

A resident, identified simply as Abdullahi, said the incident happened on Monday around 12am when the gunmen first invaded the APC chieftain’s house, shot him and abducted two of his children.

Abdullahi said, “After they picked two of his children, they went into another apartment and abducted three of his neighbours.”

A vigilante, who spoke to our reporter on Monday, said, “The kidnappers took advantage after they got information that vigilantes were short of cartridges. They struck and abducted five people. We had not witnessed any attack by kidnappers in the past five months here in Yangoji.”

The spokeswoman of the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, asked our reporter to give her time to find out about the incident.
